    Mirroring - Right to Left mode

    MathType provides Right to Left writing which also mirrors mathematical symbols to keep their mathematical meaning.

    For example, the Left-to-Right expression is shown as if using the RTL mode. Arabic letters are also supported by the system. The former formula would typically look like .

    Other mathematical expressions are mirrored to follow the Arabic notation tradition. For example, in Saudi Arabia a square root like is represented as  in RTL mode.

    Numbers in arabic languages

    Variables ligatures

    Arabic characters, when written together, are typographically joined with the so called ligatures.

    In mathematics, variable names are typically formed by a unique character. Hence by default we consider every character a stand alone mathematical variable, and so without ligatures. But MathType recognizes some standard words, and automatically adds ligatures to them. Also users can manually add ligatures, using the ‘Arabic ligatures’ button.
